Twilight Sparkle is called away to tend to Luna when she falls ill. As Luna grows sicker and Twilight more determined to help the younger princess, she begins to uncover dark secrets about the elements, the alicorns, and her own past.

Princess Celestia find's herself fixated with Control through Hypnosis and Mind Control, but what will she do with such power and how will she use it? She might even Hypnotize You. *Update* With added victims, I mean added subjects.

Cadance has always loved Twilight, from the very moment the younger pony had entered her life. Lately, however, that love has evolved into something more. Will Cadance have the strength to confess? With two meddling aunts, she may not have a choice.

Almost all chapters originally written as separate entries for flash-fic blog Thirty Minute Ponies (TMP). I highly recommend a visit to TMP if you're looking for some of the best 1000-word gems in pony fiction. Many thanks to TMP for inspiring me to write!

Plan C - In which Cadance learns that Celestia is the chessmaster, and that her backup plans are the most fun of all.

Game, Set, Match - Twilight tries her hoof at arena combat. Victory or defeat, she's sure to end up a winner with this opponent.

Countdown - Luna swore she'd never do this again, but there's something about that little librarian from Ponyville that tests her resolve.

All the World’s a Stage - Luna had a wonderful evening with Twilight and sang her heart out about it. Oh, and she might have left the door open.

Every Morning After - Twilight and Luna shared a wonderful, magical night; unfortunately, immortal Princesses sometimes forget about thousand-year-old laws which could ruin the mood ever so slightly.

Names - Luna's had many more names and titles than "Mare in the Moon", and Twilight discovers which of them meant the most.

Great Minds Think Alike - Cadance and Celestia's plan for Twilight and Luna comes to a head, slightly off schedule.

Third Time's the Charm - Twilight's Nightmare Night costumes aren't cutting it. Now Luna's in town, and that may change her opinion on what makes a proper costume.

Monster - Ponyville's been through the ringer lately, but whose fault is it really?

Impossible - Luna's having a bad night, and Twilight came all the way to Canterlot to do something about it.

Early Observances - If you're going to interrupt Celestia's sleep, you'd better have a very good reason.

THAT Letter - Luna and Twilight have to tell Celestia how serious their relationship has become, and they decide to send a letter. Surely they couldn't disagree about how to make such a simple announcement - could they?

Your Turn - Twilight and her friends reveal some personal secrets, and Twilight's is life-changing.

Trembling Joyful Whispers- The Big Day is here for Twilight and Luna! Hear the congregation's comments as events unfold.

The Power Vested in Me- The Big Day is here, but Luna and Twilight are so very, very far from ready. Will their fears get the better of them?

Awkward - Twilight and Shining Armor have dinner with their parents along with Luna and Cadance. They'll probably wish they'd ordered takeout instead.

Absence - Luna deals with a thousand years of angst all at once; maybe she just needs a gentle helping hoof to make sense of it all.

You Were There - A quiet night between Luna and Twilight is almost derailed by a lesson in ancient mythology.

Between Sun and Moon - Luna reads a bedtime story with which she is all too familiar.

Postcards from the Edge - Twilight leaves to study abroad for three months; in her absence, Luna has a stack of mail to open.

Insert Princess T into Slot S - Twilight want to be Princess of Something. Careful what you wish for!

1652966165316216532051653174There are several more installments like the first three. I need to do a little editing before I push them out. If they seem short, that's because they are. Keep in mind that these were all written for a 30-minute writing prompt, so they top out around 1000 words each. I might add a sentence or two before posting them here, but essentially they're the same as I originally wrote them.

Next two chapters are a doozy, and include the most d'aaawww-y, diabeetus-inducing chapter of the bunch. Should be up by Thursday.

847 re-reads and I still got the count wrong! This was written for Thirty Minute Ponies, of course, emphasis on the 'thirty minute' part. So,trivia: Your Turn was written with a scene for all of the Mane 6 but as the 30-minute deadline loomed, I had to cut Fluttershy out completely, while Rarity and AJ had no individual scenes and just a couple of lines each. That's why the count is off - it was written for 6 ponies, then edited to show just 5 with only seconds to spare on the deadline. The count in Twilight Hustle should be "four friends" then "three smiling mares [plus Rarity]" because Rainbow isn't there (had to cut her scene for time) and Twi is invisible until the end. Edits now complete for both.

See? I told you I'd give you a thumbs up (incidentally, I was browsing the front page and didn't even realize it was you that wrote these :rainbow laugh:). These are too cute and I can't wait to see more!
